has any one done a valve clearance check/adjust on a 250gts yet?,if so--how did you gain access to the valve cover bolts,is there a trick that i cannot see or is it going to be just plain fiddly?

Hi there!

I don't have a Vespa gts250, nor am I a mechanic.... But I had a look at the workshop manual out of interest and there are some instructions and diagrams in there that should help heaps if you are doing the job yourself!!!

I tried downloading it from this website, but my Adobe Reader said the file was corrupt. Could be my computer, but I found a copy at this link: http://www.ebooksquad.com/2009/01/24/vespa-gts-250-workshop-manual.html Be aware the file is 14.92mb in size.....

Mind you, I've worked from manuals before and simple statements in the book like 'remove this' or 'unscrew that' take on a totally new meaning when faced with the actuality of getting to the part in question!!!! Sometimes I think the manuals have been written by people who have never seen the vehicle they are writing about, let alone done any work on them!

Nevertheless, good luck with your search.

With the very kindest regards

 hey,thankyou for that,i downloaded it ok &and its looks to be a genuine vespa manual,any other gts owners should take note and download a copy.

many many thanks   brad
